Once you have it, all you need to do is turn on your VPN, select a server location back in your country, and then go to the broadcaster's website/app and watch as if you were back at home.

Amazingly, the majority of the UCI Road World Championships action is being shown across BBC Two and the BBC Red Button. And if you're not in front of your telly, you can also live stream the action on BBC iPlayer (opens in new tab).

The Beeb's coverage includes the men's, women's, and mixed team time trials, the men's and women's road races. 

Most of the events begin at around 1.30pm BST, though the elite road races start much earlier. The full UCI Road World Championships schedule is listed above.

For comprehensive coverage of the UCI Road World Championships, you may instead want to turn to Eurosport (opens in new tab) or Discovery+ (opens in new tab).

A subscription to Eurosport costs £6.99 per month or £39.99 for a whole year, while a subscription to the Discovery+ Entertainment and Sport package costs £6.99 per month or £59.99 per year.

And another option is the GCN+ (opens in new tab) streaming service, which also costs £6.99 per month or £39.99 per year.

If you’re out of the UK right now, make sure you install a VPN (opens in new tab) so you can continue accessing your domestic streaming services from anywhere.

Cycling fans in the US can tune into the UCI Road World Championships live on FloBikes (opens in new tab).

A monthly FloBikes subscription is available for $30, but if you commit to a year you'll pay $150, which works out at $12.50 per month.

Prepare for some sleepy mornings though. Most of the events get underway at around 8.30am ET / 5.30am PT, but the elite road races start much earlier. You can find the UCI Road World Championships schedule higher up the page.

And if you're currently out of the US but still want to watch the action, then don't forget to explore the VPN route (opens in new tab) set out above.

Cycling fans Down under are similarly spoiled for choice. Every single event of the UCI Road World Championships is being live streamed on the free-to-use SBS On Demand (opens in new tab).

As well as apps for Android and iOS, you can access SBS On Demand on Android TV, Amazon Fire TV stick, Apple TV and most smart TVs.

The men's and women's elite road races are also being shown on SBS Viceland. 

All of the action is being shown on Fox Sports too, though you can stream it without paying a penny on Kayo Sports (opens in new tab), by taking advantage of the 14-day free trial.

After that, subscriptions start at $25 per month for more sports coverage than you could possibly watch, some of the highlights being the NFL, F1, and loads of rugby, soccer and cricket.

The UCI Road World Championships schedule is listed above, but the main thing to note is that most of the action takes place in the evening and carries on late into the night.

Outside Australia? Don't worry if you're out of the country and want to catch that SBS live stream - just grab a VPN (opens in new tab) and you can watch the race as if you were back at home on your laptop, mobile or other TV streaming device. 

FloBikes (opens in new tab) is also the place to tune in to for live UCI Road World Championships coverage in Canada.

New Zealanders can watch the UCI Road World Championships on Sky Sport (opens in new tab), which is available as part of a range of pay TV packages. 

However, seeing as most of the action takes place in the early hours of the morning, be prepared to lose a fair bit of sleep. 

Sky Sport subscribers can also live stream the action via the Sky Go service, while cord-cutters and anyone else can try the Sky Sport Now streaming-only platform - where a weekly pass costs just $19.99.

Anyone in New Zealand from abroad or vice-versa can use the VPN route (opens in new tab) outlined earlier to access their preferred coverage just like they would at home.
